overdue response[edit]

Oops -- I forgot about the Talk page. Yeah; still kinda new here...

For future reference: I accepted the verdict of User:SwisterTwister at face value, and have incorporated the product lists into the ongoing overhaul/update of article Washburn Guitars. Though my ego was bruised, very few individual Washburn products (and I speak here as a proud owner) can truly claim to notability, therefore a compendium of models doesn't deserve its own entry. I'll keep using the Draft a bit longer as a workspace (rather than Sandbox) as it's already sitting here.

Thanks, bot! FWIW, I should note at least here that I didn't actually MAKE those links, but rather edited preexisting links in order to make the article somewhat less of an utter mess. Eventually, perhaps someone will go through and correct the ones that point to disambiguation pages.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Vocal range into Voice classification in non-classical music. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted ((copied)) template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you.

Thanks for working on Open marriage[edit]

The Editor's Barnstar
For your work merging and editing Open marriage. This has already resulted in a better article and improved Wikipedia's usefulness to our readers. I know merging can be laborious, and wanted you to know I appreciate it. Keep up the good work! Daask (talk) 14:01, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
FYI, I also wanted to let you know that I don't think you fully followed attribution requirements while merging. Page histories are legal records of copyright. You may want to re-read § Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution above. I already added a note in the page history here. Daask (talk) 14:13, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A "thank you!" for the acknowledgement for trying to rein in the Open marriage forks. I'd much rather just edit, but this merge so glaringly needed to happen.

As well, "thanks!" for picking up my (wholly unintended) slack. I've been leaning heavily on Wikipedia:Merging (particularly "Full-content paste merger"), and, after trying to get it all done in one session, got somewhat burned out by the process. By the time I got to the "Merged-to/Merged-from" part of the checklist, I found that someone had beat me there!

I noticed you forgot to create a new section heading for your comment on Talk:Free love.

Alternately, you can create a section heading manually == Like this ==. If you want, the guideline is at Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#New topics and headings on talk pages. I already fixed it for you, but I just wanted to let you know. Sorry if you already know all this and just forgot to fill in the box; I'm just trying to be helpful.

Removal of Alton Brown Quotes[edit]

I'm curious as to why you thought that the Alton Brown quotes that were added to his article surrounding his concern for obesity and his personal take on his alcohol consumption were any less relevant than the information on his motorcycles and his take on religion? Infoupdates36 (talk) 06:00, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, maybe it's my senility kicking in, but upon doing a WTF check of Alton Brown and its History page, I cannot find where I removed ANY quotations. When I go back to 14 Oct 2018 (before I ever touched the article), I find no mention of either obesity or alcohol — maybe the now-defunct complainant should have been explicit about any synonyms. As it's a teapot tempest, I see no reason to dig further for the missing quotes or for the vile fiend who actually deleted them.
As the "Infoupdates" handle sounds like a potential conflict-of-interest problem (Food Network? fanboy? Brown's staff or family?), I wish it/he/she/they had taken time to fix AT LEAST ONE of the many unsourced comments in the article. Instead, flipping through the History, I see two edits made to Personal life by defunct AzureCerulean (28 June 2019) … two edits to Personal life by Shahnawaz9051 (23 May 2019), now blocked for marketing … two edits to Personal life by Dewangmakwana (14 Mar 2019), now blocked for spamming … and of course two edits to Personal life by defunct Infoupdates86 (7 January 2019). Hopefully, Brown is not addled enough to have paid for that level of ineptitude.

Your use of talk pages[edit]

As is clear here, here and here, Wikipedia is not your personal website where you can demand things and talk down to people. If you continue to use article talk pages just to rant and demand things, you will find yourself at WP:ANI again. Of course, you won't go there, just like you didn't go there the previous two times your behavior was addressed there, but it's clear you don't have to go there for people to judge your behavior and issue whatever reprimand or sanction. Above, Black Kite told you, "This is a collaborative environment; please treat it like one in the future." That was in December 2018. You still aren't treating this site like a collaborative environment. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 18:08, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

repost: from Talk:Home Movies (TV series)#one example of Why I Hate Categories (24 August 2019)[edit]

Categories are nothing but generalized magnets for useless fancruft, thus encouraging fanboy wankers to sign up for W'pedia just to one-up each other rather than do any actual progressive editing of articles. Like most Lists, Categories depend primarily upon conjecture, original research, and editorial synthesis.

How is this both 1999 American television series debuts and 2001 American television series debuts? It jumped to another network, so I also don't see how it fits American television series revived after cancellation.

I've only seen maybe half the episodes, and can't see where it belongs with Television shows set in the United States. It could be Canada, or Germany (or, really, suburban Tokyo).

example: how to (maybe) control a List (repost from Talk:List of multi-instrumentalists, 5 July 2019)[edit]

A multi-instrumentalist is a musician who plays two or more musical instruments at a professional level of proficiency.

So, briefly, some points reiterated:

I hope that is clear enough.
Weeb Dingle (talk) 17:07, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

why "community" is NOT a good encyclopedic word (repost from Talk:List of polyamorists#Expansion of this list, 27 April 2019)[edit]

Not all men who sexually express themselves primarily with other men identify themselves as "gay," and not all gay-identified men see themselves as part of "the gay community" in any real sense. Not everyone who's queer-identified wants to be associated with (much less associate with) everyone else who's queer-identified.

Then, there's the not-insignificant begged question of w.t.f. "community": Community, Community of practice, Community of place, Community of interest?

There's even less "poly community" than "LGBTQ community": there's certainly no official Poly Pride Day, and few practicing polyfolk will march in any parade much less protest in front of City Hall. As well, LGBTQ has been variously estimated to (depending how you define the terms) include 10%-25% of the general population; by contrast, people who at some point have even vaguely fulfilled the requirements to experience polyamory has been estimated at <1%. The few poly-centric real-world events are scattered quite thinly — and almost entirely confined to major urban centers, thus excluding (say) a single suburban mother holding down two part-time jobs: she might be in "the community of interest" while highly unable to participate in "the community of place" or even "of practice," so is she part of "the poly community" or not?

example II: how to (maybe) control a List (repost from Talk:List of polyamorists#lists? well... no, 19 Apr 2019)[edit]

As with so many W'pedia List pages, the best argument for the continued existence of this is that it's an excellent means to keep fanboy trivia and ephemera from clogging up the actual, useful, credible information — here, Polyamory.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Non-monogamy, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages ENM and CNM (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Oh, dammit. Yeah, those were meant as bookmarks, intending to dig further into W'pedia to determine whether the terms are actually defined (or even mentioned) anywhere else.
Personally, I hold great disdain for trendy trite neologisms, particularly in a setting such as WP where (like mildew) a single instance — almost always with very poor or nonexistent sourcing — gives a basis for slipping it into related articles, until It's A Thing Now, You Know… and its widespread use on Wikipedia is held up as prime evidence. (CNM presently pops up in seven other articles.) That is to say, citogenesis, which is apparently frowned upon hereabouts. Rather than be left IRL where most such brainfarts will eventually disperse, they are instead preserved here, forever and apparently timeless, to be smelled for decades to come.
I regret forgetting my bookmarks, and have delinked them until the depressing day that a stub — or two — appears.

Sexual Politics: some thoughts toward improvement[edit]

I've recently reread Sexual Politics. It now seems much less "radical" than back in the day, very thoughtfully crafted, and voluminously researched. There are significant portions that are overlooked in the article, or touched upon but misleadingly incomplete. Apologies for going so long, but explanation is necessary.

Yah, too verbose for an article Talk page.

Re. Useless "Editors"[edit]

High Weeb Dingle,
from Talk:Stomp box I came to your page and talk page. There I followed a link and didn't understand the complaint. Therefore I checked it in your history; there it became clear. I completely understand your anger. As far as I can see, you were perfectly right with your critique on the matter. But you should have known that they would not let this go through. When he demanded to "remove them" (your personal attacks), as far as I see, it would have been enough to remove the "(someone) who has bafflingly been able to gain editing powers" and the "idiot", not the whole chapter. Did you forget that every one has editing rights (after 24 hours or so)? I think you should have called the attention of the Admins to this "dingus" by calling his "editing" vandalism -- he (this "editor") should have been blocked.

But everything has its good sides.

I have read that last chapter on your talk page, but maybe "someone else" would like to answer me.
